Given a function: u ( t ) = exp ( A t 2 1 + t ) , A>0,t>0,
and an equation: d u ( t ) d t = 0 t ϕ ( t τ ) u ( τ ) d τ .
How to find a closed expression for ϕ ( t )?

Taking the Laplace transform on both sides of the equation
s ( L u ) ( s ) u ( 0 ) = ( L ϕ ) ( s ) ( L u ) ( s ) ,
and
( L ϕ ) ( s ) = s 1 ( L u ) ( s ) ,
ϕ = L 1 ( s ) L 1 ( 1 ( L u ) ( s ) ) .
Unfortunately it seems that there is no closed form for L ( u ) ( s ) in terms of elementary functions. A naïve asymptotic analysis suggests that
( L ϕ ) ( s ) A as  s .
